Fig. 4 A–B

Material examined. Argentina, Tucumán, Dpto. Yerba Buena, Horco Molle , 20.VIII.1966, leg. L. Stange (1, IFML) .

Comments. Not identifiable at this time. Based on the antenna the specimen appears to be a male, but the declivital armature is similar to that of females. The marked sexual dimorphisim in this genus makes identification difficult.
